Nadiba finally got into Noah's car and waved at his mother who was standing in front of the house to let go of her daughter picking up Rama in the city. Nadiba feels uncomfortable because it has to be one
the car with Noah let alone Noah asked him to sit in the front passenger seat and did not allow Nadiba to move to the back on the grounds that he wanted to chat with Nadiba so as not to get sleepy.
“Why have you been quiet since? I asked you to sit here to make you chat.”
“Sorry Mr. Noah, but honestly I am not comfortable with all this.”
“If indeed you do not feel comfortable later also you will feel comfortable, trust me.”
Nadiba did not respond to what Noah said, he kept silent and stared out the window enjoying the trip until Noah stopped his car in a rest area.
“I want to pee first, you want to also all?”
“I don't want to pee.”
“Then you wait here.”
Noah got out of the car and went to the toilet to pee while Nadiba stayed in the car, he saw the watch he was wearing, it was still a very long time for them to arrive in the city
he was eager to meet Rama soon. Noah had been deliberately driving a car slowly but Nadiba could not protest on Noah's driving style because of his status that only hitchhiked in this car.
“Why hasn't he returned yet, huh?”
Nadiba was surprised because Noah had not been back long enough when he said he just wanted to pee, is there the toilet in line? The curious Nadiba decides to get off
the car and looking for Noah, but he had just come down, he had seen Noah from a distance walking towards him with something.
“Pak Noah why so long?”
“I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, I bought you this warm coffee.”
“What?”
****
Along the way Noah tried to take Nadiba
chatting but Nadiba still limited the conversation with this man
because he is still not comfortable with it. Noah himself sighed
the length of his efforts to get close to Nadiba has still not paid off
as he wanted. It was very late and they were still very far away
once from the destination, Noah decides to stop by a hotel to stay,
Nadiba seems a bit upset because now the longer they reach the city.
“Sorry we continue the journey tomorrow morning only, yes? I
sleepy once.”
Nadiba says nothing, he comes down from
in Noah's car, but he did not enter the hotel
walking towards the exit of the hotel, Noah who saw that was of course straight away
ran over to Nadiba while holding the woman's hand not to leave.
“Nadiba, where are you going?”
“I of course want to go to the city.”
“But it's night, Nadiba.”
“I know but I have to go to the city now.”
“Tomorrow in the morning we will continue the journey again.”
“I cannot wait until tomorrow morning, if
indeed Mr. Noah wants to rest until tomorrow morning please, but
I will continue my journey until I arrive in my new city
After saying that Nadiba released a grip
noah's hand that had been holding him, now Nadiba was walking down the street
he heads to the nearest bus terminal but Noah restrains him.
****
Nadiba is upset that Noah always holds his hand, telling Noah not to stop him this time.
“I can't do that Nadiba, it's night and it's too risky if you go alone these nights.”
“I can ride the night bus, it is completely harmless.”
“Who said harmless?”
“Pak Noah, please let me go.”
“I can't let you go alone Nadiba.”
Nadiba releases Noah's hand and tells the man not to stand in his way.
“I did not force Mr. Noah to come on this trip, if indeed Mr. Noah could not then I also did not force it, I can find other alternatives.”
“You did all this because it was uncomfortable on me right?”
“Yes, to be honest I am not comfortable because of Mr. Noah's feelings on me.”
“So so it looks?”
Nadiba sighed heavily and apologized to Noah for having to say this, but Nadiba could not keep avoiding and harboring this, sooner or later he had to tell Noah his honesty.
“I'm sorry Mr. Noah, but I have to keep going tonight.”
****
No matter how much Noah tries to keep Nadiba with him for the night, Nadiba has a good reason to continue the journey to the city tonight as well. He refused when Noah asked him to stay at the hotel until tomorrow morning. Nadiba finds the last bus heading for the city and he gets on the bus before Noah chases him back and leaves him unable to leave tonight.
“I'm sorry Mr. Noah.”
Nadiba fell asleep on the bus until he arrived at the terminal the next morning, after getting off the bus, Nadiba called Faruq to tell him he had arrived at the terminal and where he was going
this terminal.
“I'll pick you up there.”
“No need Mas, I can go by myself.”
“No you just wait there.”
Faruq then hung up his phone and Nadiba could do nothing but wait for his ex-husband to come pick him up, not long after Faruq finally came and brought him
nadiba bag heading to Luna's new rented house.
“Welcome home,” said Faruq when they arrived at this house.
Nadiba seems not to believe what he sees today, this house reminds him of the house he lived in when he was first married to Faruq.
****
Rama hugs Nadiba tightly and says that he wants to go home now, Nadiba asks if Rama is sure to come home with him now and go back to school in the village and Rama nods his head.
“Iya Ma'am, I want.”
Nadiba nodded his head, saying goodbye to Faruq and Luna and Ledi to return to the village immediately, however, Faruq felt sorry if Nadiba went straight home when only a few moments he got here.
“Nadiba are you sure you want to go home soon?”
“Iya Mas, better me and Rama go home soon.”
“But you are new until.”
“I don't want to trouble you guys, anyway I'm fine.”
